Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central Middlesex, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central Middlesex, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by M. Claudet. Dr. Lankester has been many years before the public, and is well known as a most painstaking and laborious cultivator of science. We believe long before he obtained his medical degree he was a frequent contributor to our periodical literature. Since then he has annually given us many papers of value on science and domestic economy as well as on general literature'. Lankester made a major contribution to the control of cholera in London. He was also the first public analyst in England. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
